Amazon has finally added colour to its Kindle line-up. The new Kindle Colorsoft is now available in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, bringing a 7-inch colour display, up to 32 GB of storage, and a few long-awaited upgrades for book lovers who want more from their e-readers.
Colour on Kindle – Finally
After years of sticking to black and white, Amazon has introduced its first colour Kindle.
- 7-inch Colorsoft screen
- 300 ppi for black and white, 150 ppi for colour
- Adjustable warm light
- 16-level grayscale
The colour display isn’t just a gimmick. It means graphic novels, kids’ books, and even textbooks look a lot better. You can also highlight in multiple colours (yellow, orange, blue, pink) and filter them easily. Even book covers and images finally pop like they should.
Two Versions, Two Price Points
There are two Kindle Colorsoft models: the standard one and the Signature Edition.
- Standard: 16 GB, AED 959 / SAR 1,069
- Signature Edition: 32 GB, AED 1,079 / SAR 1,199
The Signature Edition adds:
- Wireless charging
- Auto-adjusting front light
- More storage
So, if you like to load up with audiobooks, comics, and heavy files—or want the convenience of wireless charging—it’s worth the bump in price.
Battery and Build: Still Kindle at Heart
Just because it’s gone colour doesn’t mean Kindle forgot what makes it great.
- Up to 8 weeks of battery life
- Weighs only 215g
- Charges fully in under 2.5 hours
- Free cloud storage for Amazon content
It still does the basics right: long battery, lightweight build, and plenty of space for thousands of books.
Extras That Actually Matter
It’s not just about colour—Amazon has added features that help reading feel more personal.
- Page Colour feature for dark mode
- Highlight in four different colours
- Fast page turns with a smooth UI
Small changes, but ones that make reading on Kindle feel more modern and intuitive—especially for people who use it daily.
Summary
The new Kindle Colorsoft retains everything people love about Kindle, but adds the one thing it’s always lacked: colour. Whether you’re a comic fan, student, or just like pretty book covers, this is a solid upgrade—especially with local UAE pricing starting at AED 959.
